This was tested on linux - CentOS.
- We print currnet date time (EDT timezone)
root@mail:~# date
Tue Mar 24 07:53:25 EDT 2020
- We set correct timezone Europe Poland Warsaw (CET timezone)
root@mail:~# sudo unlink /etc/localtime
root@mail:~# sudo ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Warsaw /etc/localtime
root@mail:~# date
Tue Mar 24 12:55:21 CET 2020
EDT – Eastern Daylight Time (Time Zone Abbreviation)
CET – Central European Time (Time Zone Abbreviation)
Difference in hours is 5h
